In physics, jerk (or jolt) is the rate at which an object's acceleration changes over time. Acceleration is the rate at which speed changes over time. Speed is the rate at which position changes over time.
In 3d printing the position and speed are what you would expect from physics, but acceleration and jerk are subtly different. Acceleration is loosely defined as the speed increase (so it is defined as a speed in m/s, not m/s2). Jerk is similarly defined as the speed at which the aforementioned "acceleration" can change (also defined in m/s, not m/s3).
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications

TL;DR: The rate at which acceleration can change.

Great explanation, but exactly does enabling this do?
